Nerd Mentality

"Look at what this is doing to you! You're only hurting yourself!"

"DAD! NOOOOOOOOO! WHAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!"

Lol @ white parents. But yeah, I think in theory, the parents did the right thing, but they just handled it the wrong way. Kid's parent's shouldn't have been dicking around. I would've just walked up and ripped the power cord out of the computer and walked away. If the kid got on after that, I would've pulled the circuit breaker to the whole house, forcing the kid to go to sleep. And if the kid knew how to work the circuit breaker, I would've just beat the kid's ass. I like to play with the kid's emotions first, then spank if that doesn't work. Makes the whole thing slightly entertaining.

Also, Wow should be banned. No, I'm pretty much sayin' this semi-seriously. The whole concept just sounds so geeky and nerdish that it shouldn't exist. When people make an MMO where normal people can get in on it, then MMOs will be alright. Otherwise, you're just helping make our society slightly more retarded than it already is. Unfortunately, Blizzard seems to excel at this...

You're either being facetious or a complete retard if you're being serious; WoW is probably the most accessible MMO (if not one of the most accessible games) marketed now, or ever. The fact that people get hooked on it isn't anyone's fault but their's, and that of their addictive personality.

If you honestly think it takes less time to get going and accomplish a fair amount in WoW as compared to something like Starcraft, where micro and at least some semblance of skill come into play, you're kidding yourself.

Hell, I don't even like the game that much, but you're also posting on a gaming message board where people like Anbesol (and this is just my impression, maybe I'm wrong) spend all day long trolling and posting, so it just seems a bit hypocritical (flamebait is sweet).

Aaaaanyway, funny ytmnd.

Wow is the hardest MMO I have ever tried to play. There are way to many freaking buttons, and hotkeys you need to set up if you actually want to do something interesting. I also can't stand having to pick one job, and pretty much having to keep that job the entire time (Ex. choosing a warrior, then never being able to be a mage). The only way to change is to make a completely new character. I'm not saying WoW should be banned, I just think it's overrated.

Way too many buttons? Dude, the only buttons you really need are WASD walking, everything else you can click on. And why would you be able to just become another class? That wouldn't make any sense unless you had to relevel it up anyways. What game does let you do something that absolutely drastic? Compared to games like Elder Scrolls character creation WoW's is massively forgiving. FYI, there's a ton of different kind of warriors you can be. Don't like being protection and tanking all the time? Put all your talent points into the fury tree and duel wield your way to be the top damage dealer.

Let's say you could reroll mage from warrior, now your bank is full of plate armor you can't use anymore and you're completely naked and unable to do anything to regain gear. Good game.

I don't think a game could ease you into things more than World of Warcraft. The game gives you two to three moves upon character creation. Gives you mobs that let you choose when the fights start in the starter zone. Leads you to every quest hub with quests just to go to them. Offers new moves and move upgrades to you every two levels, leading you to the trainer to do that, and letting you play with the move at your leisure in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. And talent specs are not even offered until level 10, so you don't have to worry about that stuff.

WoW is so completely casual and easy to get into that my brain hurts so bad when people say how hardcore you have to be to play it. WoW has always been hearlded as the easy to get into MMO. And if you're looking for something easier then maybe Toon Town would be more up your alley.

This s*** is actually kinda scary.

Hm, I saw the exact same video but it was for Unreal Tournament. Ah well.

I love how Imp apparently thinks everyone besides himself is retarded. Imp, some people just don't like games in wich upon immediate entery, I don't know EXACTLY what you're talking about. The game probably isn't worth my time. I shouldn't have to spend time learning how to play the game. The only thing I tolerate this for is a normal RPG because the world is inherently a fantasy world. An MMO game shouldn't HAVE to be so complicated.

Let's take a look at WoW shall we?


Woopie! Buttons up the wazzo! There's a great way to ease a player into the game! (and this about the screen with the least buttons on the screen I could find).
Now, you expect me to spend hours figuring out that system and hours getting into a guild or whatever the hell you call it when I could be playing games ten times more interesting?

Apologies for bumping this, but holy ++++ you're stupid.
